GPS Log Book has closed: here’s your NZ alternative

Driver journal (FBT logbook) in the Fleet Track web portal

GPS Log Book closed on 31 August 2026. If you relied on it for automatic trip logs, FBT records or road user charge refunds, you’ll need somewhere else to keep your mileage straight, without a gap in your records.

Fleet Track’s Driver Journalling does the same job automatically, in a modern Kiwi app. It’s part of a full fleet platform, so you get a lot more than a logbook.

What GPS Log Book did, and what to replace

Whatever you switch to needs to cover what GPS Log Book handled:

  • Automatic trip logging, with no forms and no forgetting
  • Business and private trips separated for IRD FBT
  • Tax-ready mileage reports for expense claims and logbooks
  • Off-road distance records to support road user charge (RUC) refunds
  • Multiple vehicles and drivers in one place

Meet Driver Journalling by Fleet Track

Driver Journalling covers all of it:

  • Every trip logged automatically and sorted into business or private for you
  • IRD-ready FBT logbooks from one dashboard, with no spreadsheets
  • Off-road trip records to back a RUC refund claim for farm, forestry or yard kilometres
  • All your vehicles and drivers in a single view
  • Your AI-powered Fleet Assistant: ask “how much private running did Jack do last month?” and get the answer

More than a logbook

GPS Log Book was a plug-in logbook device. Fleet Track is a full fleet platform, so alongside your mileage logs you get:

  • Live GPS tracking of your whole fleet, in real time
  • Driver safety alerts and reporting
  • Fleet Compliance: WoF, rego and RUC reminders at a glance
  • Temperature logging, geofencing and more

So you’re not just replacing a logbook. You’re upgrading to see and run your whole fleet, with no lock-in contract.
